IMPRCVEMENT IN PLows.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 129,964, dated July 30, 1872.

- To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GHEsLEY THOMPSON KEE, of Chester 0. H., in the county ofGhester and State of South Carolina, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in 'Plows and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference bein g had to the annexed drawing making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawing is a representation of a perspective view of my invention. Figs.-

2, 3, 4, and 5 are details of the same. 1

This invention relates to plows and consists in the construction of the end of the standard and of the connecting-lugs of inter changeable wings, whereby the use of wings of various kinds and sizes and their ready attachment and removal are provided for, as hereinafter more fully described.

In the drawing, A represents the plowstandard secured to the plow-beam B, and strengthened by the brace O in the usual way..

I) designates a foot on the end of the standard, having a slot, E, with the sides correspondingly notched at F. .G designates the mold-board, secured to the foot by a bolt, g, passing through the slot above the notches and fastened-by anut. H designates wings, designed to beef various forms and sizes adapted to the work tobe done. These wings are calculated to lie obliquely, and are provided with properly-arranged L-shaped lugs s h, by which means they are applied to the foot of the standard. The outer portion of the lug enters the slot, while "the part atright angles thereto rests in the notch F and prevents the wing from moving. The .wings are secured by the mold-board, or by the shovel K when the same is put on the foot, and tightly held by the bolt. The wings are adapted to deep or shallow culture by the arrangement of their lugs, placing them higher or lower, as the case may be. L designates a triangular block of wood placed in the opening between the standard A and the brace 0, and employed as a support to the former.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination of the standard having the slotted foot E, notched across its upper surface, with the mold-board G or shovel K, and the wings H having the L-shaped lugs h, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

OHESLEY THOMPSON KEE.
